WordPress Announce 3.0 Release Candidate 1

WordPress yesterday released the first release candidate of WordPress 3.0. Release candidates are more stable than beta versions and new features which were being tested during the beta stage are usually close to competition.

RC1 still isn’t a ‘stable’ release as there may still be some bugs in it. So if you have a lot of plugins installed you may want to wait for a stable release, though it should definitely work with no problems on brand new websites.
